NUTRITION FOR A FAMILY
UN SDGs
Our food projects work towards United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 2:
Help us feed refugees and their families. Nutrition prevents disease and helps children to grow up healthy.
WHAT'S IN A FOOD PACK?
The food pack feeds a family of approximately 5 people for a month. Food pack ingredients are chosen for their regional availability in bulk, and are designed to cover essential basics for health and nutrition by providing a balance of protein, carbohydrates, fibre, and glucose. The packs contain everything an average family needs to eat:

KEY FACTS
Acute Food Insecurity
Across East Africa and Yemen, countries score among the highest for Risk of Famine, Acute Malnutrition in children, and other serious issues related to hunger.
- UN & World Food Programme, 2022
3.6 million
children in urgent need of life-saving food interventions
The number of people in need of aid across the Horn of Africa has now reached millions. More than 2.5 million are trapped in refuge.
It's as simple as this:
thousands of refugees are one missed meal away from starvation and death. They have no reserves, no energy or money to get food. Tomorrow is too late for them.
Feed a family and experience the satisfaction of alleviating someone’s hunger.
In the camps people have no freedom to determine their own fate; they have no choice but to wait for help from others to arrive.
Ethar Relief is working on the ground across East Africa delivering emergency food packs to people who are desperately in need. We prioritise families with children, and other vulnerable people such as the elderly and disabled.
We are distributing food packs NOW, and we need your donations to keep going and reach the maximum number of people.
When funds run out, the food runs out.
